The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part oLthesame.

To whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALONZO NOTEMAN, of Toledo, inthe county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Redistilling and Rectifying Apparatus andl do declarethat the following is a true and accurate description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of referencemarked thereon and being a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my apparatus.

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.

Like letters indicate likeparts in each figure.

The nature of this invention relates tot-he construction ofan' apparatusby means of which spirits may be redistilled and rectified at the sametime, thereby insuring more pure spirits, and more free from fusil-oiland other impurities than when treated in the ordinary method.

The invention consists'in converting the spirits into steam in awater-hath or other appropriate device, and conducting said steam. intothe bottom of an appropriate rectifier, filled with charcoal, in theusual manner. On rising through the charcoal to the top of therectifier, the steam is conducted through a proper pipe into the top ofa similar rectifier, and similarly filled with charcoal. Thelatter-named rectifier is inclosed in an appropriate condenser, intowhich cold water is admitted, by means of which the steam is condensed,

and is discharged through a suitable pipe leading from the bottom of thelast-named rectifier, a pure spirit.

In the drawings- A represents a rectifier provided with the usual falsebottom, and filled in the ordinary manner with charcoal.

An inlet-pipe, a, conducts the steam from the converting water-bath intothe bottom of this rectifier.

An outlet-pipe, b, conducts the steam, after it has risen through thecharcoal to the top of the rectifier, into the top of another similarrectifier, 0, which is placed within the "condenser B, where the steamis condensed, and, after filtering through the charcoal in thelast-named rectifier, the purified spirits are drawn off through theoutlet-pipe e.

From any suitable reservoir the water-inlet pipe 0 conducts cold waterinto the condenser B in a continuous stream, which finds an outletthrough the pipe d, which passes upwardthrongh the bottom and center ofthe rectifier B, and out at the side of the condenser at a. pointalittle lower than that where the inlet-pipe c enters, so that thecondenser may be nearly filled with water before any water isdischarged.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The arrangement of the rectifier A, the inlet-pipe a, the outlet-pipe b,the condenser 13, the rectifier O,

the water-inlet pipe 0, and water-outlet pipe (I, and spiritdischargepipe 0,- when constructed as described, and for the purpose set forth.

ALOFZO NOTEMAN.
